02 PAYG internet access billing

[gordonendersby]

Does anyone know how 02 would bill you for GPRS if you use a PAYG sim and use GPRS?

Im thinking of stopping my O2 contract and converting to PAYG and using the settings shown elsewhere to connect to GPRS.

Is anyone else doing this?

Thanks

Been there done that.

if you use a PAYGO sim in your xda you will not get full internet access.

I thought you could use a different proxy port ?
What about the article in Tekguru?

Apparently it is possible.

I have full internet access, found the details on this very forum. Unfortunately, only works for web pages, not messenger etc.

Conect through the proxy: 193.113.200.195 on port 8080 and it works a treat.

Do you get billed for it?
If so does it just disapear off of your balance?

I don't know how I get billed for it, but I'm sure I do. Just looking at web pages doesn't cost too much I'd expect though.

Here's what I've done.

To connect:
~~~~~~~~

1. Set up a new work connection:

Name: Whatever you want, I normally use "O2 GPRS"
Address: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: payandgo
Password: password

2. Go back to the connections menu, tap "set up proxy server"

Click the two checkboxes, enter the proxy server address:

193.113.195.200

Then tap on advanced. On the top row you'll se something like:

HTTP 193.113.195.200 80

Change the last column so the row looks like:

HTTP 193.113.195.200 8080

3. Go and impress your mates in the pub by showing them mobile porn. ;)

Do you have any idea what this surfing costs ?

I know that simple WAP pages cost about 1 pence per page.

Thanks

Does anybody know the cost of pay as you go browsing ?
